The Year of the Hurricane: Poems to Heal your Soul
()
About this ebook
How to navigate challenging environments during and post-pandemic? What to do when everything appears to be falling apart?
Marjorie Serrano answers these questions and more on a personal journey to restore a sense of normalcy. In this inspiring compilation of poems, she found valuable answers worth sharing. The Year of the Hurricane: Poems to Heal your Soul was inspired by two challenging years. Life throws us curveballs, and sometimes we can feel all is lost. However, we can still find peace and tranquility and places in our hearts that become our shelters.
Marjorie journaled amidst her pain and through storms and deceit. She journaled through loss, illness, and despair. While feeling abandoned, she discovered the true meaning of friendship. She unlocked the fortitude she didn't know she had, which was just waiting to be uncovered.
These poems are a recollection of the rollercoaster of emotions she went through as her life took unexpected turns, from the invasion of her Oregon home and a move to Louisiana to a historic hurricane that flooded her house and destroyed most of her material possessions. In addition, she suffered recurrent illnesses, multiple miscarriages, and difficulties adapting to the culture of America's Deep South and its racial inequities. The losses of her beloved grandma to COVID-19 and her German shepherd, Richard Parker, were seemingly too much for a normal human being to bear. She often felt like giving up, but she kept going thanks to the inspirational love of her precious two-year-old daughter. "The shore of safety, health, abundance, and love is close," she writes. "Do not give up so you can reach it!"
